  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

d.p apprentice???????????????

i wasn't really lying though, if you define Independent filmmaker you will see that its no real different then a student filmmaker. Independent filmmaker is a person whose film is produced outside of any major film studio. he or she finance their movie or short on their own or through an investor; student filmmakers do that every time they make a movie. i am also a award winning student filmmaker and although it means nothing to you or anyone else it still something that i can put on my resume. so did i lie or did you just misinterpreted what i was saying.

Oh no worries. Your only mistake was to get defensive. There is no room for that. Rule number one is you have to be gracious at the bottom. Nobody wants to deal with an attitude or even an impression of one.

And I agree - don't lie, you're true colors are always visible. Be honest and you will find mentors who care about your success. The don't lie policy is good for finding a mentor - it doesn't work for investors. If you find an investor, be hans christian andersen - tell the best story you can - lie if you have too.

once again from the bottom of my heart i was not lying at all. a student filmmaker is an independent filmmaker so how was i lying. i say this not with an attitude but with all sincerity. what do you expect me to do when people attack your character, just lay down and take it, this is why i was defensive.
